My puppy swallowed a night mask and he’s throwing up but he won’t throw the mask up. He’s thrown up at least 12 times in the last 12 hours. What should I do?

I am so sorry to hear that! You must be very worried about Ash! I would strongly advise taking him to your veterinarian as 12 episodes of vomiting in 12 hours is significant. It is possible the mask is stuck in his intestines and your vet may want to take x-rays. Based on how he appears during his exam, how painful he seems to be and +/- how his x-rays look, they can best advise you on how to make him feel better the fastest! I hope he feels better soon!
